Connecting FC disk enclosure to server

WillHolt — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:09:19 +0000

Hi i was wondering if anyone had the knowledge to help me with my issue of directly connecting a AD542B to a GL360 G5 server.
Current Specs of Server are:
AE312A FC HBA
8GB RAM
Server 2008 R2 x64
3.2GHz xeon processor
500GB HDD.
Installed within the AD542B i have:
2x AJ715A
FC B AD624B
FC A AD623B
2 x power supplies
1 X AD625B
My issue is that i want to connect this device directly to the server so that i can test FC HDDs. I have no need for any functionality except to diagnose any issues within the HDDs installed within it. Any help would be glady appreciated.
All drivers and firmware for the AE312A are up to date and i also have the Qlogic gui installed, but still cannot detect the disk array on my system.

How do I get my BIOS to detect a new HDD (HDD was tested and worked)

HDDs protected or unprotected?

Hello,

After upgrading an existing 8203-E4A machine (i5/OS, V5R4M5) with 2×139 HDDs feature code #3677, i see in the “Work with disk units-> Display Disk Configuration Protection” that the model of disk units added are 090.

The array is RAID5 and have 6 HDDs. 3 HDDs are 099, 2 HDDs are 090 and 1 is hotspare.

Does it mean that this 2 HDDs added to the ASP1, doesn’t contain parity bits?
Are they protected? (i mean if one of them have problems will the array protected again?)

Info: When i see from strsst “Work with Disk Units” in “Display Device Parity Status” i see them active, also in “Display Disk Hardware Status” i see them RAID-5/Active.
If you need more details, please let me know.
